        I get an absurd amount of spam and calls daily, every time I look at my phone there are another 19 missed spam calls it is absolutely insane.

        So I started doing some digging and came across this post from a while ago:
        [HowTo] Block unwanted calls - create blacklist

        Is anyone using this currently and or can confirm that it is still relevant and working?

        I had to flash lineage with gapps and install pixel dialer for my sanity for a week or so which I really dislike. But I absolutely need something to block or filter spam calls with so I don't throw my phone out the window.

        Thanks!

          @Futura I'm using exphone from the openstore for this. It's working fine for me.

          Vollaphone (UT 20.04)

            @kristatos said in Blacklisting/Blocking spam calls:

            exphone

            On nice, apparently I completely overlooked that! Are you running 24.04 or 20.04?

                  @Futura works very well to block calls but can't block SMS.
